Monday Sivan 11 5703
Chumash: Beha'alotecha, Sheini with Rashi.
Tehillim: 60-65.
Tanya: An illustration (p. 293)...nothing besides it. (p. 295).
From my father's talks:
"The Avoda of serving G-d according to Chassidus comprises all kinds of levels...
The level of "corpse" does not need much elaboration; but, thank G-d, there is also "revival of the dead" in spiritual Avoda.
A corpse is cold; there is nothing as frigid as natural intellect, human intellect.
When one's natural intelligence comprehends a G-dly concept, and the emotions latent in intellect are enthused and moved by the pleasure-within-intellect - that is true revival of the dead.
